Hello friends, I'm Nish Babar.

According to me, Indian villages are our strength as well as weakness.

First, we see how Indian villages become a strength for us:

1) Our economy engaged in primary sector compare to other two sectors like secondary & tertiary.
2)Raw material production.
3) Export agriculture products worldwide.
4) Increases employment in the primary sector.
5) Promote self-Help groups.
6) Become people self-reliant.

Now how Indian villages are a weakness of our economy-:
1) Lack of education.
2) Rural development is a major challenge facing our country.
3) Poverty.
4) Lack of awareness about government schemes so no development.
5) Infrastructure not developed.
6)Old culture and tradition so no modernization & increases superstition among people.
7) Population increases

In my view, villages are our strength and weakness. It's our strength in the way of doing agriculture, producing 90 per cent of the food our country needs. It's our weakness when coming to education and health perspective. Due to lack of education, they lack awareness about government Schemes, facilities and also the existence of superstitions. Due to this they are backward and strive hard to live life. But when the villages develop the whole nation develops from a developing country to a developed country.

Hello, friends good morning to all of you.

According to me, our villages are the strength of our country but definitely, our villages need more funds.

From our government so that basic infrastructure can be built for education and health. Because as we all know education is the most important thing in everyone's life, so our villagers should have the opportunity to get an education. I think our villages have enough government school but what our village's schools are lacking is a quality educator.

Also, there are many superstitions in our villages.

All these things vanish from our villages ones our villagers get educated. What I mean by education is not only bookish education but also moral education.

Instead of having all these lacking, our villages are still the backbone of our country's economy. Besides these, in villages, you find a true sense of peace. In villages, you will never feel lonely because people are very social in villages. Also living in villages is economical than living in cities. In villages, you find everything in very pure whether it is water or air, fruits or vegetables.

Finally, I would like to say that our villages are our strength provided the government should focus more on villages education.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

In my opinion, villages are a weakness of our country. Because villages have no facilities like medical and education. That's why our country is a developing country not developed country. The reason behind it is our government. They do not pay attention to the village's problems.

Thank you.

According to my opinion.

The villagers in our country should always look at it with respect, because if they stop working, then within 1 year the entire Indian economy can suffocate. Some people still look at the village people with small eyes. Which is totally wrong according to me.

Well!

Our villages are the backbones of our nation. All the customs and traditions of India are originated from the villages. So basically, we all being Indians it is necessary to learn some ethics from the villages.

But in India, villages are not much developed. We don't have proper medical or educational facilities in the villages.

But we all aim for Digital India and I think this cannot be achieved when our villages are in such a condition. Villages are not exactly our weaknesses, but it lies in the hands of the leaders of our country to develop these villages, so that, we all can achieve together.

Of course, it's our strength because villages make us learn about the traditions and human values which makes the most sense for all the human beings like how to treat each other and how to be kind and helpful when a person is in need. But coming to the demerit we'll be having many facilities outside the villages but only for that reason, we shouldn't forget villages if possible we should make it as we can use in an effective way so that no one can be in a position to walk away from villages because of no facilities.

In my opinion, ultimate outcome of this question is Yes, it does lean towards positivity that villages are truly the backbone and strength of any country or India but we should be asking the question are villages really being the strength or contributing to maximum potential?

Don't look at the numbers that 70% population blah blah blah is agriculture-dependent in villages but think about the fact that even that its the case is this 70% making enough per capita income if there's mainly one family member deemed to have earned it. In a sense income from just farm gets divided into individuals of the family and the per capita income basically drops sometimes lower to than of lowest-paid government employees? The talk about education and health-care seems to fall too far because we need a strong core and economy which is still an issue because most people are not self-sufficient.

Sure villages have kept traditions alive but have they enforced enough modern technology to boost productions enough to compete overall with huge modern business through financial standpoints?

We are still in an era that most schemes applied, brought to most villages are not about really about development standpoint but still about ensuring survival or basic needs, even those are deprived in a sense.

To conclude, we need to find a middle way on our own, not inspired by western countries or any other to infuse the traditions and modern technology, we need our own minds aspired to create modern solutions, to look up new ways to do things and open new doors of possibilities in villages.

In my opinion, Indian villages are the strength of our country. Our countries 70% population is depending on agriculture and the allied sector. India's economy depends a lot upon the agriculture sector. Many Industries depends on villages for raw material. Ecological balance is also maintaining by villages because of the pollution-free environment. Nowadays when the country trying to adopt the western culture, we can see our traditions and culture is safe only in villages.

Because of less support from the government to facilitate villages with better schemes to educate villagers, providing good transport, health, and employment facility they are not developed and face lots of problems.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, definitely Indian villages are our greatest strengths. Because when you see the majority of the agricultural production is from villages even industries depending on that and able to produce their product.

In addition, the village people follow the traditions and culture of the ancient people which is being praised by all other countries in the world which is a big positive thing for us.
